progress report

[llywela]

A detective just phoned to give me an update on the investigation into my burglary the other week. The update is basically that there hasn't been much progress. There was very little material evidence, which I already knew, but they did get good, consistent descriptions from several neighbours which they have matched to CCTV footage from the pub opposite. That's all very good and positive. The problem is that they can't locate the man, who goes by a nickname; the pub landlord doesn't know his real name. But the detective wanted me to know that they are still working on the case and said she'll ring again with another update in a week or two.

Well, that's something, I suppose. I got the impression when she visited me the day after the burglary that she was expecting to simply close the case in a week or two because of lack of evidence, so it's nice to know there has been at least some investigation and that said investigation is continuing still.

In other news, I've been having a bit of a binge on ebay's vintage fine jewellery section, from which I might have to ban myself again - but hopefully my insurance will come through soon, to justify the expenditure...*G*

Well at least it sounds like they have some clue, good luck!

Aye, the little PC chap who came out on the night of the burglar seemed to recognise the description given by the neighbours - he thought he had an idea who it might be based on that. And the detective who called last night said they'd matched the description to CCTV footage, although this chap isn't described as a suspect at this stage, merely someone they'd like to question. Whether or not they'll ever actually find him (or my stuff) though is another matter entirely. I'm torn between keeping my fingers crossed and not wanting to get my hopes up.
